djlifeline's right. in general, you can expect the plant to double or triple its size in veg when you flower it. Looks like you went 12/12 from seed?

i vegged about a month from seed im using 250w of cfls and t5s its not that big of a deal if i dont get a big yield im really just trying to learn right now and those are only pics of one of my plants the other is about the same size but a lil behind that one it only showed its sex about a week ago and i have 2 more smaller ones that are only about 4 weeks old i started after i found out 2 of my others were males :( so i plan on harvesting the one from the pics in about 4 weeks and the others about 4 to 6 weeks later

i have a plant that is refusing to grow tall as well, same age as my other only difference is it went threw a transplant. think it went into shock.

I have 2 runts this year as well

they just grow about a centimeter a month!

LOL

I will repot them into much more Airy compost with perlite... and see if getting more oxygen to the roots - helps any....

;)

yea this site use to clown on me hard about the perlite issue, until i finaly took all advice.. even if soil/dirt states perlite if ucant visibly see the white chunks of perlite, mix sum in!!! ull see a hell of a diff. too embarced to show my first bagseed but my new one and my MMJ seedlings are looking good

lol, absence of pearlite is not going to make your plant grow all midgety and whatnot. looks like it's genetics, the plant seems healthy.

The stem sure as fuck is thick! I agree that it could be the plant, not your fault.

Yea its the plant bro. I wish u had harvested some seeds from it. Be perfect to have a sog/scrog setup w/ like 20 of those.

I ran 10 12/12 in solo cups n they are all like a lil over a ft.

Your girls look nice bro. Keep up ur good work.

is it possible for me to clone it while in flower and then pollinate and get seeds? also you cant really tell from the pics but I lst'd it and the plant is actually about a foot tall but the stem is somewhat S shaped Im still confused as to why it stayed so short tho

Maybe during the LST some sort of trauma occurred that you didn't notice, maybe some roots were broke, or some damage in the stem that wasnt visible causing it to be stunted.

did u cut fan leaves off through veg? if u did thts prolly why, no energy absorbers for the plant to absorb light and store sugars

I would also say it is mostly genetic most likely indica dom. But I feel that a short veg time and maybe poor lighting played a roll. I did not see what kind of lighting and wattage you are using. The size of the pot even the type can effect growth rate and size, I switched to cloth grow bags and it made a huge difference from the plastic pots. Type of soil can effect it as can watering either over or under, nutes as well. These plants want to grow and can grow very fast given the correct conditions.
